Get into global edit mode, 4th page, and turn off "En Rx Transport".
When you hit play in your daw, you will receive clock regulary but sequencer won't start playing.
Cheers!

I put my monologue between the sequencer and the minilogue and it filters out the start stop commands

unfortunately this solution only works if you have both

but you may have other equipment keys / drum machines etc that do the same.

Looks like this work:
No sequencer triggered but still get the sync for BPM LFO.
Sequencer can be launched afterwards, in this case that will not be on a perfect time but just as you press PLAY on the korg.
Get LOOPMIDI
http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html
Set one virtual midi port on the program
Then filtrer MIDI signal with MIDI-OX
I tried to root things this way:
MIDI sent from Minilogue (I record midi from it)
to
LIVE IN
LIVE midi OUT > MIDI-OX
MIDI-ox OUT > MIDI OUT (the soundcard's midi out)
I have no midi port on my soundcard so I use USB-MIDI gear which appear as USB MIDI on this pics:

Live must be launched AFTER midi-ox

Hi,
I don't use Ableton or any loopback devices, and you may consider my setup a workaround that doesn't address all of your issues, but it works for me, so here it is.
I downloaded a range of pulses at different bpm's from a site...
http://tiptopaudio.com/circadian-rhythms-downloads/
...which I send from my DAW to BUS 5, routed to a dedicated out. Through some virtual routing with my DAW and my MX-1 mixer/interface, this signal is sending SYNC to my korg stuff (daisy chain sync volca/tribe/sq-1/minilogue). The added benefit of which is that the KORG stuff is more tightly synced to sample playback from my DAW, than synced to MIDI. I can still sequence via MIDI of course. You would be surprised at the difference it makes. Particularly, if you use samples in your DAW. Finally, your hardware will be synced to your DAW samples.
Feel free to request more details.

Solution - Ableton MIDI clock to external synths
dillec wrote:Guys, I have a comparable problems but it's a bit more tricky.
I want to use the clock sync on the Minilogue on external, to have arpeggiators play in sync with Ableton, BUT this means that every time I hit 'play' in Ableton, the sequencer starts..
Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off JUST the sequencer start on sync but to keep the Arpeggiator sync? It would be so useful (in my case), but I'm not sure wether this is possible.. I find the midi options quite limited..
But if someone has a tip or trick, I'd be happy to hear it!
Ok guys I had the same issues (starting any clip in Ableton caused all my connected external synths including Minilogue & Roland JD-Xi to start their step sequencers) . I needed MIDI clock sync from Ableton to external h/w but not trigger anything else on external h/w.
After struggling for a whole day, I figured out a working solution...
0) MIDI-Pipe is the key. This is a Mac app that offers various options of creating virtual MIDI IN/OUT & directing, routing, filtering MIDI signals.
Its a "pipe" or chain cos you connect one component to the next in a chain/pipe & the signal flows from the top component to the bottom like water in a pipe. Each component you connect, modifies the signal in some way (the s/w offers different components to do different things)...
1) Used MIDI-Pipe to create a new MIDI-IN source (double-click "Midi In" in the left pane. In the "Midi input" dropdown below, choose "Edit virtual inputs" --> create new --> click Done
In Ableton MIDI settings, it’ll now show up under the MIDI outputs section (cos Ableton will send MIDI out to it)
2) In Ableton MIDI setup (outputs section) Enable only the SYNC option for that newly created source and uncheck the SYNC option for all external h/w facing this clock sync issue (ie. receiving unwanted start/stop from Ableton)
3) then create a new MIDI-Pipe as follows :
the above new source as INput --> Message Filter (to filter out the clock start/stop/control messages) --> route that to multiple MIDI outputs (one output for each of the external connected hardware that was having this issue). 4) Check the “pass-through" option for all the above outputs except the last one (this causes the clock signal to go to all those external synths but no start/stop etc to them)
5) Save the above MIDI pipe to a file & load it every time you use ableton (MIDIPipe can be started before or after starting ableton, didn't make a diff in my case)
6) On My Mac OS 10.13, MIDI-Pipe crashes every 10-30 mins of usage in the above config (that's a bug in MIDI pipe - maybe cos it cant handle the data flow for too long, not sure).
But it works. Keep restarting every time it crashes.
